I'm looking at my 62 cm and it looks straight to me. Am I missing something? http://www.flickr.com/photos/14724719@N08/7360074294/ On Tuesday, July 10, 2012 9:08:01 AM UTC-7, Rocky B wrote: > > I've seen pictures of a 62cm Bettys and Yves Gomezs on the 'net and they > all had the "kink" look to

I've seen pictures of a 62cm Bettys and Yves Gomezs on the 'net and they all had the "kink" look to them. I hope this isn't a one-off and its the new style. On Tuesday, July 10, 2012 10:39:07 AM UTC-5, Jeremy Till wrote: > > I also think it's a function of size, probably related to the challeng

Interesting theory. Assuming the "rule" is that the diagonal bisects the rear triangle, maybe larger frames move the midpoint of the seat tube up to the point where it aligns the top tube. The bike has 650B wheels, so the biggest it could be is a 58. If only there was some way we could ask the
